Cases of religious discrimination can be highly complex, so it is essential to obtain expert advice at the outset. Religious discrimination can also be closely related to race discrimination. Our dedicated team has extensive experience of advising and litigating in such cases, whether the belief discrimination relates to the recruitment process or the workplace. We work on every size of case and as a national firm we have the experience and resources to conduct your case wherever you are based.

It is an unfortunate reality of life that many people experience discrimination at work on grounds of their religion or beliefs. However, the law prohibits discrimination on grounds of religion or belief, both in the workplace, and outside, in use of goods and services as a consumer. The law in fact goes further, protecting those with non-religious beliefs, for example atheism or humanism, but also those who hold philosophical beliefs, such as a belief in climate change, or pacifism, or veganism, from discrimination because of their beliefs. It can even extend to political beliefs such as Marxism, Communism or free-market Capitalism, but not merely to membership of a political party. Scientific beliefs can also be covered, for example a belief in Darwinism, if this is the basis for discrimination suffered.

If you think you may have a claim for religion or belief discrimination all you need to do is fill in our online discrimination enquiry form and respond to some straightforward questions. Our solicitors will then consider your circumstances, and contact you with their opinion on whether it is worth pursuing. This service is free and 100% confidential.

You may be raising religious or belief discrimination issues through a formal grievance procedure, or the discrimination you are experiencing may include disciplinary proceedings brought against you.
